Whether we care to admit it or not we are inextricably linked to trees. On the most basic level, they provide the oxygen that we need to survive. Dive into the complexities of our relationship and links to our physiology and psychology become apparent. For Eric Batty, an adventurer and arborist living in Ontario, Canada, the relationship he shares is one of respect; a plausible result from a history exploring the outdoors through sport. Most recently, in early 2020, Eric, along with Ryan Atkins and Buck Miller completed the Wapusk Trail Fatbike Expedition. A self-supported 721 kilometre ride from Peawanuck, Ontario to Gillam, Manitoba (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKavm…). However, outside of his time spent participating in outdoor adventure sports, his professional career has granted him a unique view of the relationship we hold with the natural world and how we should move forward through one of the biggest crises facing humanity.
